Chapter 2 Rosebud Martinez “Are you alright, Rosebud?” Mathew's faint voice echoed in my ears, followed by a gentle tap on my shoulder that had me snapping my eyes open.I had expected to find myself in heaven with my parents when I opened my eyes, but I was mistaken. I was in our living room, with Mathew sitting beside me on the couch, and Megan sitting on the couch across from me.“You are sweating, honey. Are you alright?” Mathew's eyes pierced into mine worriedly as he placed a hand on my shoulder.“What is going on?” I muttered to myself, diverting my eyes to Megan. She was glaring hard at me at first, but the moment our eyes met, she pulled a worried look.“Sis, are you alright? What's wrong with you?” She hurried over to sit beside me, holding my hand.My gaze dropped to my hand, and I found my fingers curled around a brown file.I swallowed nothing as I lifted my hand to my stomach. My baby bump wasn't there. “Are you feeling pain in your stomach? Do you need to go to the

Chapter 4 Rosebud Martinez For a moment, the time seemed to collapse, my heart ceased beating, and when it started to beat again, it was fast and heavy. Like it was going to explode. My lips parted as we locked eyes, memories of the past came clawing back into my mind. The unspoken words that I'd kept hidden in me for years. The feelings I thought I'd have gotten rid of, or maybe left behind me. They weren't entirely gone. They were still there. “It’s been a while, Rose.” His soft voice stripped me off of every confidence in me, rendering my legs almost trembling beneath me. He was still as soft as he was back then. Those eyes still looked at me the same way. Still confusing, just as he always made me feel back then. “Br…Bruce?” I called his name again, in a whisper. Barely making a sound, my fingers clenching tightly around my purse as if seeking for its support. I swallowed the sudden lump that built in my throat as I took a step back, my back crashing against the wall.

Chapter 7Rosebud Martinez ‘I’m so sorry, Ms. Martinez. Something came up, and I had to urgently travel. I'll be back in one week. Will work on the divorce papers as soon as I get back’I almost threw my phone across the room in annoyance when I read my lawyer's text as soon as I woke up. I wanted the divorce to go through as soon as possible, but I guess it won't be anytime soon.My phone chimed with a text as I got ready to leave for the office, and I hesitantly picked it up. However, a smile crept up my face when I saw who had texted me. It was Bruce.‘Upscale restaurant. 2pm’.It was the address of the restaurant we were to meet.My eyebrows squinted as I tried to remember the place. If my memory serves me correctly, it was a seafood restaurant built on a riverbank.“Bruce is weird…” I chuckled to myself.“Why this restaurant of all places?” ‘See you later’.I replied to his text and shoved my phone inside my white handbag before going to stand in front of the mirror to check o

Chapter 9Rosebud Martinez ‘Hey, honey. Something came up at work, and I had to sleep out. I will make it up to you, I promise’.I had just stepped inside the house after a long day at work when Mathew's text popped up in my phone, and I scoffed.I was going to opt out of the date one way or the other, so he only did me a favour.‘Okay’I replied to his text bluntly as I proceeded to my room.My phone rang as I walked inside my room, and my heart fluttered, a smile creeping up my face when I saw it was Bruce.“Hey!” His gentle voice sounded through the phone as I pressed the phone gently to my ear after answering the call.“Hey!” My voice trembled beneath the pounding in my chest, my grip around the phone tightening as my breath hitched.“Did you arrive home already?” “Hmm. I just got home.” I whispered.“Alright…” he paused and went silent for a few seconds.“We were so carried away with old times and couldn't talk about work earlier.” He chuckled lightly, and I mouthed an ‘oh’.I

Chapter 11Rosebud Martinez “I got this for you.”My fingers clenched tightly as I stared at the bouquet of flowers in his grip. His face held a warm smile. One that could've swayed me if I didn't know the bastard he was.“Thank you.” I smiled, but it only lasted for a nanosecond before disappearing. I reached for the flower, and just when he handed it to me, I loosened my grip, watching it crash to the ground.His smile faded, suspicions creeping up his face.“It slipped off my hand.” I told him, my lips curling up in a smile.“It's fine, honey.”He bent down and picked it up.“I made dinner for us. Why don't we eat together, hmm?” He held my hand, holding the flower in his other hand.I felt my skin crawl in disgust, my stomach twisted, and the sudden urge to throw up coursed through me, but I held it back.“Okay. I will shower and come back.” And with that, I left for the room, not soaring him another glance.For a moment, I thought of staying back inside the room after I was done
